Do you have a link for more info about the event?

We need innovation that not only help us survive climate disasters, but thrive beyond them.

One reason why the @heidi-adams.bsky.social @basestudio.bsky.social #RegrowAltadena event collaboration this weekend is important: "Natural disasters in the era of climate change are not just environmental events — they are social justice issues. " @earthorg.bsky.social earth.org/when-disaste...

Yes! Hope you and your team are aware of the 9/13-14 Regrow Altadena event hosted by @heidi-adams.bsky.social of @basestudio.bsky.social . Community, nonprofits and leading thinkers on sustainability and resiliency (lighting, energy, buildings, mobility, gardens). A solutions collective x 10!

Exactly our mission: Connectivity is Climate Resilience - and what our ReGrow Altadena event 9/13-14 is about. GREAT conversation, @lindseyphorvath.bsky.social and @katecagle.bsky.social "How am I supposed to evacuate a community that I can't even communicate with?" - Mayor of Malibu #LAFires

Lindsey P. Horvath@lindseyphorvath.bsky.social · last yr.

Lesson #1: Unity is everything. It’s been 7 months since the January wildfires, and I sat down with @katecagle.bsky.social to reflect on what we’ve learned—and how we’re putting those lessons into action as we rebuild. Listen now: youtu.be/eBYlpg8OkL8?...

This @c40cities.bsky.social @iamdavidmiller.bsky.social #cities 1.5 series sounds worth a listen. As we and our collaborators head into our ReGrow #altadena event next week (join us!), thinking about *resilient* growth and strong communities is on our minds. #urbanism #podcast

C40 Cities@c40cities.bsky.social · 12mo ago

Can we have infinite economic growth on a planet with finite resources? Join podcast host David Miller for episode 1 of our Cities 1.5 mini series about the life and legacy of economist Herman Daly - the father of ecological economics. 🎧 lnk.to/HDE1 @gayaherrington.bsky.social

"Angelenos don't necessarily want pricey park amenities — they want places where they can simply be outside, together." - @awalkerinla.bsky.social #Resilience #PublicHealth #landuse #socialjustice (Let's DO this, LA!) And, thank you, OLIN.

Alissa Walker@awalkerinla.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Over the last eight months, a supergroup team led by the landscape designers at OLIN has attempted to envision an entirely different LA — where public space is a priority. I spoke with the team about its 496-page draft recommendations for how the city's overworked parks system can get there

"As the nation heads into the most intense months of the Atlantic hurricane season, employees worry that the agency is not prepared to face another catastrophe." New from @mollytaft.com www.wired.com/story/fema-f...

FEMA’s Chaotic Summer Has Gone From Bad to Worse

Following a week of strife at the disaster relief agency, Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem told FEMA employees to “be vocal” about their positive experiences with the Trump administration.

We now know just how much climate change supercharged Hurricane Katrina. Two decades after the devastating storm, scientists can more easily determine how much global warming is intensifying tropical cyclones. grist.org/science/we-n... #Hurricanes #Disaster #Katrina #Climate #Weather #NewOrleans

We now know just how much climate change supercharged Hurricane Katrina

Two decades after Katrina, scientists can more easily quantify how global warming is intensifying hurricanes - and how it shaped past storms.

Powerful storytelling here @capitalb.bsky.social Wow. And, reason to keep developing innovations and solutions that'll keep communities energy secure and connected before, during and after natural disasters. #resilience #socialjustice

To prove it's possible, a region of Germany cut itself off from the national grid & ran its own regional standalone grid purely on renewable energy & batteries. No nuclear, no fossils.

The Bordesholm stand-alone grid ensures power supply even in the event of a grid failure

"The electric grid is nonpartisan. Struggling to pay your utility bill is nonpartisan. Keeping the lights on is nonpartisan." @joshuabasseches.bsky.social #GridResilience #Energy #Utilities

Joshua Basseches@joshuabasseches.bsky.social · 12mo ago

In a new Op-Ed for @technologyreview.com, I draw on research from my forthcoming book to suggest a playbook for clean energy advocates in these backwards times: www.technologyreview.com/2025/08/19/1...

This was a fascinating microgrid unlike any other I have seen, which showed that wind, solar and batteries can provide lifesaving electricity and heat, even in the frozen north.

Transition Show@transitionshow.bsky.social · 12mo ago

For Ep. 257, Chris traveled to a remote, off-road community in Alaska’s Arctic Circle to see how they are integrating renewables into the microgrid that powers the town. xenetwork.org/ets/episodes...

Without FEMA, the U.S. really needs this sort of innovation. The streetlight as a backbone of #infrastructure resilience. -keep the lights on -deliver #WiFi - store clean energy reserves All while withstanding extreme weather. #solar #EVcharging #SXSW Panel Picker #ClimateInfluence #cities

Communities deserve to not just survive disasters, they should thrive despite them! #Resilient infrastructure is key. Let’s talk about this #SXSW. 👉 Vote for our panel! participate.sxsw.com/flow/sxsw/sx...

Really interesting @grist.org piece and why I am so intrigued by the idea of how more of us (including "deciders" / policy influencers) might be inclined to prioritize PRE-disaster #resilience (things I am learning by working with @heidi-adams.bsky.social on an Altadena rebuild project).

20 years after #HurricaneKatrina, every #GulfCoast county has faced at least 3 presidentially-declared disasters—many over 10. Explore how federal spending has shaped response, recovery & mitigation in this Urban #data tool. https://urbn.is/46VHC4C

Copper wire theft is costly. LA is upgrading with solar — smart. At BASEstud.io, our streetlights add solar, battery storage & WiFi, so neighborhoods stay lit, and connected even when the grid goes down. Thanks @canarymedia.com www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

These sorts of examples/stories, and the more local (city/state) they are the better, are what more of us need to #NameAndFame to grow the #ClimateInfluence of GOOD things and innovations happening. Thank you, @righttozero.bsky.social #storytelling #communications #influence

Free WiFi for LAUSD students? Yes please. But let’s not stop there-what if streetlights + WiFi hotspots became the standard in every neighborhood? Connectivity IS climate resilience. laist.com/news/educati...

LAUSD extends home internet program for a year after federal funding ends. What then?

In the early months of the pandemic, researchers estimated about one-in-three LAUSD households lacked devices or a broadband connection.

Besides the headline issue of the delay in approving grants, this article describes a core challenge re: FEMA - the crushing amount of work needed for reimbursement for post-disaster work, and the toll that takes on (often small) local governments www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

DHS is delaying millions in already approved North Carolina recovery funds, documents show

Communities across the region still need to be reimbursed for about a hundred projects including debris removal, waste water treatment repairs, roads and bridges, damaged buildings and parks, as well ...

It might sound counterintuitive when those who reject human-caused climate change believe we’re intensifying weather extremes via secret expts—but here’s the difference. A: We’re responsible, so we all have to fix it B: We’re not, so it’s not our fault 99% of climate denial is solution aversion!

people who think the gvt controls the weather are a faction that is quickly gaining power on the right — and MTG says she's planning to introduce legislation on this soon @davidgilbert.bsky.social & i looked at how these conspiracy theories got supercharged after the tx floods this weekend:
